Combating Trafficking in Transportation Act

Summary

Combating Trafficking in Transportation Act This bill allows specific Department of Transportation (DOT) grants to be used for the installation of human trafficking awareness signs at rest stops and expands the DOT Advisory Committee on Human Trafficking. Specifically, grants for projects under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program and the Local and Regional Project Assistance Program may be used for a project to procure and install human trafficking awareness signs at rest stops and welcome centers along the Interstate Highway System. The Local and Regional Project Assistance Program is also known as Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE). RAISE grants support multimodal projects for state, local, and tribal governments. In addition, the bill expands the membership for the DOT Advisory Committee on Human Trafficking to not more than 16 external stakeholder members (from 15) and requires the committee to include a representative from state departments of transportation. Current membership on the committee must include representatives from trafficking advocacy organizations; law enforcement; and trucking, bus, rail, aviation, maritime, and port sectors.
